Like Nakers here,
many homeless derelicts, or ‘povvos, ‘gyppoes’, ‘dirty subhuman scum’ or any one of a million pejorative epithets levelled by our uncaring society at some of its, ah, less fortunate members, are simply people like you and me – but for whom life has taken one unlucky turn too many and they’ve ended up on the streets, drunkenly shouting at cars whilst stinking of their own excreta and unwashed clothes.

Yes it may be funny to point and laugh – maybe even to burn them to death in a bus shelter like Michael Menson from Double Trouble – but given a couple of wrong turns and a lack of a family support network maybe you’d be the same, yeah?

Think about it, yeah?
